Urban96FM hosts an ‘Urban Superstar Top 10‘ program on their station where your favourite celebrities to share their top 10 favourite songs while answering those questions nobody else can get them to answer.

The show holds every Wednesday and on the last edition they had Tiwa Savage in the studio.

Before she jumped into her favourite ten songs, she got to speak on sundry issues from life after childbirth to adoption plans, making a ‘Seyi Shay’ comment as well as her favourite meal.

This was actually Tiwa Savage’s last interview before the drama started…just before she dropped “If I Start to Talk”.

See excerpts below.

On her post-baby body she said: How’s my stomach? It’s still bulging. It’s not completely flat. But we’re working on it. I’m taking my time, I’m enjoying the bulge. It’s extra cushion for my son when he sleeps. It’s like a pillow.

On getting stretch marks from her pregnancy: Oh I always had stretch marks but not on my stomach though…my legs. So it was just like ‘Hey welcome to the family’ *laughs* and there are still stretch marks on my stomach and my boobs as well.

On if things have changed since having her baby: Physically some things are south, more so than others but mentally I’m really happy. I’m more motivated…more so than ever before. I have this renewed strength and I think I’m more organized now because I have to make sure my son’s okay, my husband’s okay and I’m okay.

On having more kids: I do want to have another one but its just that the thought of going through all of that again…because I really had a difficult pregnancy. I was throwing up the whole nine months, I was eating a lot. Even if I still have my own – by God’s grace I want a little girl – I will still adopt because a lot of children do need homes.

On Seyi Shay being a Pepsi Ambassador with her: You are so…ugh…having an interview with this girl is crazy. See I knew you were going to drop this in anyway, everybody has heard! What? Am I happy for Davido? Of course. I love him. He’s absolutely fantastic.

On her Ojuelegba story: I still have that because if I go to Yugoslavia they’re not gonna know who I am.

That’s my TIWA. I love you some more. It was obvious that she wasn’t ready for the drama and just wanted peace but its sad things went the other way. Be strong and keep doing what you’re doing. Your best is yet to come

From the day one find out that she is pregnant, she needs to start looking after the body. For instance you need to apply plenty of sheer, cocoa or any butter that we have in Africa, that helps a lot to minimise the chance of having stretch marks. You need to apply a lot of the creams on the body as a whole, the buttocks, the breast, the stomach. After birth, drink a lot of hot infusion to flush the dust and get somebody to massage your buttock, breast and stomach with hot water. That is traditional way of looking after oneself in some parts of Africa. This does work for my sisters.

They should stop adding fuel to d fire, quit asking either of them abt each other! Naija journalist Ebuka n others! That’s how they created problems btwn Davido n wizkid! There will always be competition in every industry! Every time Seyi is interviewed they keep askn her abt Tiwa, which is not right, I see they suceeded in creating beef n tension btwn these 2 lovely ladies

After watching that interview I was team Tiwa. But seeing all the flak that interviewer got I watched the clip again. It dawn on me that the whole interview was actually orchestrated by Tiwas wiz PR crew. It made the interviewer look bad while Tiwa shone like a persecuted victim. I feel this lady is a master manipulator. She really has the power to make anyone she touches look bad. Like a freaking reversed Midas touch that turns everything to S***. Her and her Tunji deserve each other. They are both as bad as each other. I feel sorry for the innocent child in the middle of the storm these selfish adults have created. I’m not even going to waste my data commenting on either of them or reading their drama anymore. I’m done and TBH, Bella so should you guys.

Na wa. Someone poured out her heart about her situation and you’re here judging. Damn shame. If you followed her career long enough you’ll know the kind of person she is. There was no benefit to her, she just had to say her side of the story which she’s sat on for a long while. She’s a public figure and she needed to speak. At the end of the day she can’t please everyone. Her fans still love her. We move!

So Tiwa’s team made the interviewer slouch on the couch like an invalid? Her team also made the interviewer say “eye” instead of “aisle”?, they also made her seem cold and unbothered. LOl, okay..we hear you.

You my dear are pathetic. You seem to give Tiwa a lot more power than any human has lol I guess she also made the interviewer sound bad in her print write up? And the bad grammar ? Lol Tiwa must have some amazing powers o .na wa for all you sad conspiracy theorists o,no now so one needs to make Azuka look bad he he he. Tiwa, you my dear just won yourself many more fans and your career will surely grow highre and higher

@Paula &mike I totally agree with you. She strikes me as a manipulative woman. I do agree that Tee Billz guy had a lot of issues and did not behave responsibly in that marriage, however this lady too isn’t a saint. However she (and her PR team) has managed to divert all the sympathy to herself. Imagine her announcing to the whole world that her husband was using cocaine and at the same time claiming to love him and praying for him. With that drug allegation alone, she wickedly destroyed any chance of him (Tee billz) making something out of his life. Her response was completing out of portion all in the name of protecting her brand. The whole drug allegation was totally unnecessary. Personally I think it was cynical ploy to get back at Tee Billz for the sleeping around allegation against her. However she cleverly avoided to give a straightforward answer to allegation by crying and saying that she never cheated on him. But Tee Billz inferred about being in the past. Besides it has always been an open secret that she and Don Jazzy were an item.

I was also astounded by the level of her pettiness about finances despite all the endorsement deals i.e. accusing her husband of not buying diapers for their son and having hair cut twice a week ………… With the level of her success and financial security, that should not be an issue.

I wonder how their son will feel in some years time when he is able to dig out all these information from the internet. Having said all these, I think she is a great singer and she is incredibly good with interviews.

If u are a man I pray God will so much bless your daughter that she will be d breadwinner of her family while her husband will ONLY help her to spend it and call her a slut on top. If you are a woman God will grant u d patience to KEEP it all inside afterwards so the world can celebrate your courage while u die in silence. Pls say a very LOUD AMEN from the bottom of your heart.

And Teebillz with his sucide drama is not manipulative? Before her interview hadn’t he managed to paint himself as a victim and Tiwa as the devil. You wonder how the child will feel reading what she said, how about the child reading about his father calling his Mum a slut and people saying Don jazzy is his Dad due to his father’s attention seeking ways. Of what relevance is who she dated before marriage? What does that have to do with anything and why should she even address that! The fact that Teebillz brought it up at all shows what a manipulator he is. He was looking for something to shame her and since he had nothing valid after marriage he had to start bringing up irrelevant stuff up from before. So the fact that she has money means it’s okay for a man not to contribute a dime for his child’s upbringing? Is that the kind of men you breed in your family? Well sorry for you but that doesn’t make it acceptable . Here in the real world a parent not taking care of their responsibilities towards their child just because their partners has money is not worthy of being called a father or mother. It’s clear you are birds of the same feather. Teebillz came to the public to try and disgrace her and gain sympathy and unfortunately for him it backfired big time and I live Tiwa for that. The days of you sad, pathetic men rubbish get women in public and getting away with it are far over so get with the programme loser.

My dear”truth is bitter” It is a big issue of husband not buying diapers & having a hair cut twice a week.Are you married & a female? If yes,i pray you don’t fall into that category where you work your life out & your husband sleeps at home all day,no matter how rich a woman is,you will feel it if your hubby cant buy diapers but can cut hair,a father should be able to sacrifice,if he cuts his hair once a week and uses the allowance for hair part 2 to cater to his baby,it is a big deal,i am talking from experience,thank you.

Extremely selfish childish couple. Non of them having the maturity expected of parents. At least if Tbiliz DEY craze you sef for no go dance to the beat of a mad man. The fact he put that rubbish idiotic rant up on social media just showed him up to be the loser he is . And then instead of having some maturity and taking the high ground Tiwa had to take the advise of her idiot level spin doctors , sink to the level of her husband and retaliate using the same social media. That’s the problem with these so called Nigerian celebrities they seem not to no were fantasy ends and reality begins. As they portray themselves inside music videos and nollywood tinz that exactly how they are in real life. I tire. Anyway the two of them fit each other. It’s not by mistake them meet. Like to like attraction. Two selfish individuals. Take two dirty slaps Tunji and share one with your wife.

My advice to men is to work and be the man of the house as ordained by God. You will be doing yourself a lot of good and have respect in your family. Do not pack into a woman’s house, but let your wife come and live with you to avoid your things being thrown out. What a shame.

I pray that God will make all men to be hardworking. I am a career woman and can afford more than I want. But I am always delighted whenever my husband does his part in the house and buys me gifts too. I double those gifts during his birthdays and our anniversary. But a lazy man is a no for me. A woman is a helper not a beast of burden. Peace.

Who says men don’t want to work? When you are married to a woman like Tiwa, especially when making your income from managing your wife’s showbiz, then your work won’t count. Tiwa knows this and when she fired his ass for stealing from her, she left him with no much choice. Real love never existed btw them which explained why all that happened. Keep your head up Tiwa and grow up.

You are so daft……so him saying Tiwa was an adulteress, her mum a witch, don’t cook for him bla bla made Tiwa look good abi? Male chauvinistic pig, so the woman should always be blamed for a failed marriage abi? Am so happy she did the interview….u call it petty she talked about finances? A man she sacked cos he was stealing from her? He hasn’t spent a dime on his son and u say it’s petty? Honestly can’t deal with your stupidity

@tiwasavage, you need to keep ya head up. You ain’t perfect but you don’t need to spill the beans about the issues with your private life to the public. That aint cool. It seems to me real love never existed between you guys. I understood that @teebillz323 pushed you to the edge but you still have to keep your cool. These people pointing accusing fingers at you aren’t in your shoes and can’t possibly understand how you feel. You need to grow up.

Thank you Mike and co. I have it on good authority that One of the criteria for the interview was for it to be an informal girly chat, were Tiwa was to be allowed to lead and look victimised . They had several takes before they permitted that one to be broadcast. So yes kadara , Tiwa did have the power to influence the interview thanks to her PR crew of life. If you must know most celebrities do have a diva attitude and wield that power whenever they want to get their way . If the conditions were breached she would have just terminated the interview , get someone else todo it, or refused to release the tapes. just like Omawumi did. This day wanted the scoop so they obliged. So my dear Kadara and co take several seats, and give others a chance to have their opinion. I see say Tiwa PR team no DEY sleep. y’all up on Internet sites planting seeds of deception. That po Tunji never stood a living chance. He is well and truly under Tiwas and cos capacity. No pity for him men like that deserve it. No pity for Tiwa too, she choose to Date a married man, and married a lying cheat. She got what she paid for. And Tiwas PR you can hurl all the insults you like under my comment. You are all very welcome. My own is as long as my comment pass oga moderator I’ve made my point. You’re insults would not delete my opinion and it ANIT gonna change it too.

@Teniola I couldn.’t have agreed more. They both deserve each other other. I am sure the woman she stole Tee Billz from must be watching all the drama in amusement.. @Kadara and co ( gullible fans) live and let’s live. You have aired your views let others air theirs.

well said jare Teniola, blind followers n she no even know or send them, her own na the mny wey she dey make, keep defending her, everyone is entitled to their opinions, U have yours and teniola has hers .

To begin with, I am a man but If I was Tiwa, I will be mad too especially if I have a husband who’s making money off me and still don’t want to take care of his responsibilities. TJ got it all wrong to think that bcos your wife is rich doesn’t mean she doesn’t want your financial support. Do you think she just want kids from you and to pump her all night long? You are not a good ambassador for all men. And if you had really wanted to commit suicide, that would have happened long before anyone comes to your rescue. You were just looking for sympathy but Nigerians were to smarter than to give you one. And Tiwa, you got what you deserved, you walked into this with your eyes open and legs wide open. You can’t blame him for all your troubles. The part of the problem is half yours. You need to start using your head and not your body.
